Missing evidence lowers the score because we can't check it. It doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Claiming a profile never changes the score. Evidence context, not a guarantee of workmanship.

Official checkOn the public register
Why this helps you judge trust: this trader is linked to a registered company with named people who are legally accountable for it, on an official register anyone can check, a layer of accountability an unregistered trader doesn't offer. Around 19 years on the register also points to an established business rather than a brand-new one.

Highlights
“L Smith Construction took on a big job for us openning up the back of our house, fitting RSJs, bifold doors, roof lantern then fitting a complete new kitchen and utility room. The project has gone perfectly and we are extremely pleased with the result. Luke's team have always been totally professional, worked to the highest standard, been punctual, friendly and tidy. Luke has been a fantastic project manager and everything went without a hitch. We are happy to recommend L Smith Construction without reservation.”
“We have just completed a single storey kitchen extension with L Smith. The experience from quote to completion was 100% positive. Luke and has team worked well throughout, finishing pretty much on time and completely on budget. No mean feat considering the current wider issues and materials and labour shortages. They did what they said they would do, on each and every day. We were consulted throughout the build, to ensure fit and finish were to our expectations. Luke's own builders and his trusted contractors for electrical, plumbing and carpentry works, were all excellent.”
Detailed reviews
These are the individual reviews we hold for L Smith Construction Limited, including the highlights above. The 36 headline total is the review volume reported across public review sources.
We engaged Luke to undertake some ceiling and roof works, agreeing a price and a time. I called him two weeks before the start date to check everything was in order and went through to voice mail. Since then he has been uncontactable by phone, email and even social media. The project has now gone back to square 1 and we're a year behind. Bitterly disappointed as we'd turned down other options.

This trade isn't licensed in the UK, so anyone can set up. TrustMark is the only Government-endorsed quality scheme for work in and around the home - check whether they're registered, or find a TrustMark-registered business.
Check the TrustMark registerNever pay a large deposit up front. Agree a staged payment schedule tied to completed milestones, and hold a small retention until snagging is done.
Get it in writing: an itemised quote with scope, materials, start and finish dates, and how any changes (variations) will be priced.
Be wary of a cash-only price or pressure to start tomorrow. Both are red flags for an unaccountable job.
